Yes, seriously, I want to quit playing chess. I have been playing live chess for the past 4 months and I started realising I might have become an addict or something. I want to quit  this habit.  Any suggestions.

So you become addicted.  So what?  There are LOT of worse things to become addicted to.

The day I give up chess is the day I die.

Hai pdve,

   What do u mean by chess patches?

White_Rabbit

It was a joke, like the nicotine patches you put on your skin to quit smoking cigarettes.  

If you want to quit playing it'll have to be sheer willpower.  You might be able to replace it with a less compulsive hobby.

If you were an addict you would not think about quiting.

If you were winning 90% of your games you would not try to quit. Yeah that number is a stretch but you get the point.

Probably leaving this chess site would be good start.

Maybe you just end up replacing this for something else!

Play only against better players. After incurring long losing streak, your frustration will be so much you will quit playing chess.

First step is to leave this site. To do this you should start using engines in all your games on this site*. This will result in you believing that you are amazing at chess (since your rating will be so high) and you won't need to waste your time easily beating people :)

*You may get banned for doing this but at least you will be forced to leave the site which will help you quit chess

start writing insane comments til you get banned and exited from the site, they will close your account, and you will not have a login.

Read a book that is still written in the old notation that will speed things up! Although the last two suggestions are perfect already!

When yyou sleep at night the Chess Mistress will speak things in your ear. You start watching movies like Dark Knight. Studing history of religion about Bishops. Learn more about the Queen of England. King Arthur, Rookies drafted in NFL-NHL ---  and etc.

The pizza box will look like a chess board. When it is time to eat and they sit down at the table you will think they want to play a game of chess. When you go to the restaurant and you here somebody say Check you will get a flash back of the last championship. When your intimate with your lover/mate .... well you figure out the pin and fork part.
